Well, you have to remember that about 55% of my readership is North American. Which means that they, at least mathematically, always have more chances to win these things.

About 40% of my readership is European, and I'm happy to see that prizes have been won all over the old continent! Eastern European countries have been quite lucky, if memory serves me right.

That leaves about 5% for the rest of the globe. Still, even though their percentage is small compared to the bulk of my readership, it's nice to see that winners have come from Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the Philippines, Brazil, etc...

You can never please everyone, yet I feel that the entire planet has benefitted from these contests!:p

If you haven't won already, may good fortune smile upon you in the upcoming giveaways!:-)

It seems (mathematically) odd that often all the winners are from USA/Canada, and now none is, but I guess that depends on the randomize algorithm you're using... or not :/ :D

Thanks a lot for this book, can't wait to get my hands on it :)I hope there won't be any problems in post offices, I wrote you my address without diacritical marks because I thought you probably wouldn't see those letters well (ž, š and ć).

I'm just complaining that you haven't yet arranged for there to be a giveaway for José Saramago's latest book to be translated into English, Death at Intervals. Make it so #1...err, Pat, and I'll enter the contest, even if I already have the book in Spanish translation :P

Wow!! I wasn't expecting such a long answer! Don't get me wrong- I am not complaining; I really appreciate what you do here - free books, and free posting. I just think you "prefer" North America, which I find logical, because of the cheaper posting. And you really have to review your mathematics ;-) Or else Europe is a really unlucky continent!! Keep up the good work and more book reviews please!!!
